Miyares receives Electronic Retailing Association Volunteer of the Year Award

  Mercury Media announced that Marcelino Miyares has been named ERA Volunteer of the Year by the Electronic Retailing Association. Miyares is Vice President and Director of Mercury en Espanol.

He will be honored at the Moxie Awards Gala on Thursday, September 26, 2013, 7:00 p.m. – 9:30 p.m., at the 2013 ERA D2C Convention at the Wynn Hotel, Las Vegas.

“Marcelino Miyares was selected as this year’s recipient for his outstanding leadership of ERA’s U.S. Hispanic Council. We applaud his efforts in revitalizing the group and encouraging ERA’s Hispanic community to more deeply engage through ERA membership and participation,” says ERA President and CEO Julie Coons. “In addition, this accolade exemplifies Marcelino’s commitment to the association by inspiring fellow committee members and industry colleagues to promote ERA’s tremendous value.

“This is the first time that I have served as a volunteer in an industry trade organization, said Miyares “Although I have been a frequent presenter at ERA conferences for the past several years, being the chair of the U.S. Hispanic council has given me the opportunity to serve our industry. This award is a real honor to me personally. But in addition, it represents a validation of what the Hispanic market can mean to this industry. I look forward to continuing to serve this community.”
